This cutie is Howard…a two-year-old German Shepherd who was welcomed home on October 2nd, 2020. Howard was one of six German Shepherd pups that the rescue couldn’t say no to and Momma Dobson and her son road tripped from Nevada to meet Howard after they both fell in love with his photo. (The Dobson are a bit concerned about Janelle, RROESR’s president, posting such adorable photos on the site because it’s going to make them want ALL the doggies!😂)
Howard is a smart, energetic and focused young man who loves his human brother (like REALLY loves him) and also likes balls/playing fetch, walks and playing in the desert. He would play fetch 24/7 if he could. He also loves to rip up cardboard boxes. (We should get him a job at Amazon!) He really likes to spend time outside and will lay on the porch so he can see over the fence and keep an eye on everything. Howard is such a happy fur baby but he is NOT a fan of his boy not taking him with him everytime he leaves and is NOT happy unless he’s in the same room/area as you. (Must be the herding dog in him!)
Howard is a perfect fit for his forever home and has been since day one. Since the Dobson’s have had him since he was a puppy, they just went through the normal puppy to adult dog stuff that all puppy owners go through. Momma Dobson shared that Howard really is such a good baby boy. He barks too much when the neighbors come home and isn't really food motivated but Momma D’s learned that distracting him with a toy works! It is a huge win that they are pretty excited about. Howard gives awesome hugs (we could all use those!) and puts his paws on your shoulders. Oh, and we can’t end this without sharing Howard’s love of laying down on tables…like kitchen tables…as in Momma’s tie dyeing table!! (We need an updated photo if he ever ends up tie-dyed himself!)
